If you had to sum up your team in one word, what would it be?

Competent

Give an example of where your team has demonstrated an understanding of your customers’ needs.

If we have offered terms but the client isn’t so keen, then most of the time we will negotiate with the broker on the terms to make the client as happy as possible as long as it is within reason which therefore shows a good service and both parties are satisfied.

How does your team help give clients the confidence and freedom to perform at their best?

We are flexible in in order to meet their business needs. Once on board, our insureds have the freedom to perform knowing that we will provide support should a loss occur.
